Tyngsboro teenager seriously injured in sledding accident

Deputy Chief Richard Howe said the boy went up and over a jump on a sled and landed on his head, injuring his lower extremities. The boy reportedly had no feeling in his legs following the crash.

The boy was taken by ambulance from where he was sledding on Stonehill Road to Lowell General Hospital, Howe said. He was transferred to Children's Hospital in Boston, but his condition remained unknown Wednesday night.

The boy's identity is not being released since authorities are not sure his entire family has been notified, Howe said.
